OMG. Firefighters in Midland, TX pluck immigrant workers off the rooves of construction projects for arrest.

[jmbar2]

Must now add firefighters to the ICE hall of shame. After so many have come here to help during US disasters. SMFH.

16. Firefighters do one job well--put out fires

I’ve never known a liberal firefighter. They are prone to recruitment by authoritarians.

20. Sorry you couldn't meet my dad.

[Roy Rolling]

32. I would have loved to meet your dad

My response was carefully worded—I worked with firefighters and police as a medic for almost 20 years. I have many firefighter friends—my nextdoor neighbor is a firefighter—it’s just my locale is dominated by non-liberals. Not everyone I’m sure.

They’ve been ranting to me since Clinton was president.

[blm]

25. I know a lot of liberal firefighters

including one of my brothers.

[JI7]

30. There are many liberal firefighters.

This is more about Texas and a right wing area in Texas.

2. The shame of America continues to build to the sky.

[paleotn]

3. It's Texas. I'm not surprised.

By the way, who's going to finish that building? No one. That's who.

[Norrrm]

7. All the republicans who lost their jobs to the immigrants now get their jobs back.

9. Shouldn't They Be Picking Lettuce?

[Dixiegrrrl]

17. In January? n/t

[Kali]

22. November through April in Yuma, AZ

winter lettuce capital of US

[mountain grammy]

21. Exactly!

[Trueblue Texan]

23. Texas was home to the Great Ann Richards, Molly Ivins,...

Jim Hightower, and Lyndon Johnson…Don’t be so quick to judge Texans.

[electric_blue68]

28. I've known liberal Texans b4 I got here.

:tengallonhat: :longhorncattle: :yeehaw: 😉👍

[Trueblue Texan]

31. Exactly. Judging the entire state for our gerrymandered elections ...

Is like judging the entire nation for TSF in the Oval Office. It’s simply not an accurate reflection of the populace.

4. Ol GW's haunting grounds for a while

He was raised in Midland.

[Norrrm]

5. And what about the employers? Any accountability, there?

They would obviously rather hire the "illegals"/undocs than pay Americans.

[Probatim]

6. Accountability for "job creators"? Surely you meant that as sarcasm?!?!

/s

[Norrrm]

8. Si

[dem4decades]

10. Firefighters, they love Trump. So disappointing.

[msongs]

11. if this is not AI, they could just wait for whoever to come down nt

[UpInArms]

12. Midland

Such a disappointing place

Basically, I am just disappointed in many people in this country … such horrible soulless lumps of nothing good

[gay texan]

13. They are getting ripped on Facebook n/t

[Skittles]

14. my neighbor is a supervisor in roofing

he says it's a huge fear there will be a raid because it would mean contracts / roofing projects already started would NOT be completed

[Deuxcents]

15. Why does the apprehension have to be so violent?

[mysteryowl]

18. They don't even know their names.

They could be legal immigrants.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Assholes

[LostOne4Ever]

24. Midland is one of the most RW large cities in Texas

It is full of oil money and RW culture warrior types.

This does not surprise me at all.

[Klarkashton]

26. The whole firemen thing is a huge racket.

Emt is essential in any community but as this shows those guys have got a lot of time on their hands.

[sakabatou]

27. The firefighters must be kicked out

They've forfeited their duty.

[democrank]

29. Abject cruelty as policy....over and over and over and over and over and over.

I’m so ashamed of what we have become.
